Poker/Texas Hold'em Rookie Mistakes - Surrender or Passive Action???
Too often I find myself sitting at a poker table either online or in person, laughing to myself as I watch an inexperienced player make a vital mistake. The mistake is simply folding a winning hand. I think Kenny Rogers said it best, “know when to hold’em, know when to fold’em”. As an experienced poker player I know that there is more to the game than just pure luck. More often than not I will hold a winning hand regardless of its rank. I will cover how to make a weak hand a winning hand in another article, but I will tell you that a winning hand; or the ability to make a winning hand is controlled by the transition of your game play, your opponent’s game play, your position of play, and chip control. Rookie Tip – NEVER fold or surrender your hand until you are under pressure. “Pressure”, meaning that you are forced to make a bet. Reasons 1- If there are still cards to be brought into play, you maybe folding a winning hand. I have seen a lot of crazy things happen as far as cards are concerned and why would you fold away a chance to win. The fact is; if a bet is checked across the board, chances are that nobody has a strong hand or they’re simply chasing. Even when there are no cards to be brought into play and the bet is checked, there is the slight possibility that you have the highest ranked hand. Reason 2- Making this type of mistake is an obvious “tell”. If you fold without any pressure it automatically tells me what type of player you are. First off, the early fold is an indication that the player is a tight player and even worse it is an indication of your inexperience. As we all know, you never want to give the opposing player any type of indication what cards you are holding in this game or the next. Exception – Like with all rules there is always an exception. As I had stated above, one of the deciding factors in making a weak hand a winning hand is the transition of gameplay. I learned this trick from one of the owners of gamblerssource.com; not only an avid Texas Hold’em player but also a Texas Hold’em tournament coordinator. He will sit at a table of strangers and often times play the first 18-20 hands very tight (sometimes never even taking part of any of them), making some rookie mistakes along the way. His intention is to give his opposing players the impression that he is an inexperienced player. Ultimately, it opens the door for him to make a transition in his game play and enable him to buff critical pots.
